tutorial: Updating your ActiveRain Photo to HD~ A Simple How To Instructional Video.
- 09/15/09 05:28 AM
In case you missed it earlier today, ActiveRain introduced the ability to now upload an HD profile picture in which you can crop & edit right on the network. If you missed the announcement, take a minute to read all about it on Brad's post: It's time to update your photo- In HD. To me, this is such a wonderful feature because for some reason, it seems the pictures of me where I am actually smiling and have my eyes open always have someone else in the photograph. (I should win an award for the worst person ever to be photographed.) … (27 comments)

I get asked often how I created my custom header for both my ActiveRain Blog and also my Outside Blog. The process of creating one is actually pretty simple to do. Instead of doing a tutorial with screen shots, I thought it might be easier to see how I created my header & uploaded it in a video format. So, I made a generic header for my blogs today & taped it as I made them. The entire process from beginning to end only took me about 5 minutes. I actually spent more time locating the photograph I wanted to use … (62 comments)

I just finished reading Erin Golding's post: How on Earth Do You Blog So Much and in there, she made the following statement: (I can't figure out how to embed videos into my ActiveRain blog so if anyone can help, that would be great).

As some have already noticed, Activerain recently gave the members an opportunity to have an outside blog page. This is a huge thing and an awesome idea. The best part about it, is that you can write your posts in Activerain and by just clicking one box, they are automatically added to your own personal outside blog. For the more advanced users you can purchase an outside domain name and have your outside blog point to that page. Since this release, I have seen many questions about how to set up your outside domain name, so I asked Brad if he … (171 comments)
